Here is my entry for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Roads.
A look at West Street from the 100th-floor observatory of NYC’s One World Trade Center, August 2018.
A snowy road in Central Park, January 2020.
Shells in Winter
These shells were found on the beach in February a couple of years ago.
These were seen a couple days ago.
Can you tell that they are winter shells?
Does the light look colder?
Does the wind sting your fingertips when you reach down to pick one up?
Does the wave make me look older?
Happy Valentine’s Day
Someone stuck a few roses in the sand here and there at the beach today. So Happy Valentine’s Day from a stranger, the Atlantic Ocean, and me. I hope your day is full of love.
Snowy Central Park
It hasn’t snowed much this winter. But a couple weeks ago I was lucky to be in NYC on a snowy afternoon.

Our old spot on the High Line
It’s covered in red petals

Orange Iris at the Beach: Flower of the Day Challenge
At the beach last week, this apricot-burgundy iris had a great day in the breezy sunshine.
Observatory at Hudson Yards
This is edge, a not-yet-completed observation deck on one of the shiny new towers of Hudson Yards, a real-estate development in midtown Manhattan that officially opened to the public this past March.
The triangular observatory is the “highest public balcony in New York” as well as the “highest outdoor deck in the entire Western Hemisphere,” according to the Hudson Yards website. The smaller inset triangle (fans of Nintendo’s Zelda series will see the triforce) shows the glass-bottomed floor of the observation deck, which allows visitors to see the street 1,100 feet below.
The official website says visits to edge are “coming soon,” but a recent article from CNN says it’s scheduled to open next year.
Alliums in Hudson River Park
Let’s each pick one and use them as our fairy wands while we play
Ten percent off?
Tough break for these fellows.
NYC on a cloudy day
A view of One World Trade Center and Battery Park City while taking the ferry to New Jersey. The skies were gray, and it had been raining on and off that afternoon.
